We took the boys swimming at the pool today, and it was so much fun. Henry was in a donut floatie that has a seat with leg cutouts, and he was so cute. He would splash his hands in the water, then squeal in delight when he splashed his own face. Big smile the whole time.
Luke had a mini life vest on and we tried teaching him how to swim a little, but he was scared of floating, even when we held him. Baby steps I guess. He kept asking if there were alligators in the water.
The pool is in the middle of Bidwell park, and is filled by Big Chico Creek, so it's a creek pool. On one end the pool is level with the creek, and at the other end is a dam with a fish ladder. It's hard to describe I guess. Anyway it's free and has nice scenery. Even though a lot of people go to it, it's so big you don't really notice.
It's all cemented and has a shallow end and a deep end like regular pools. The creek is on the right and the pool is on the left in the pic below:
